Long time..no blog!

WOW. I didn't realize it had been so long since I have blogged!! :) Its funny to look at those pictures of Mr.Wiggles, because he has GROWN so much. Both of his HUGE ears are standing up! I will have to get some of my moms pictures and post them on here! Mr.Wiggles is still doing great! I have to say that he might be the cutest thing I have EVER seen. He's my little baby boy! If I am this obsessed with a DOG how will I be with my CHILD?!?!? Jon is just as obsessed, if not more!! He is so funny with him! :)

I know you all have probably been reading on the job situation, but nothing new as yet. I am asking for PRAYERS as we are waiting to hear ANY day now on a job in Huntsville. We want this job like we have NEVER wanted anything before. He had an interview with the web director in Huntsville last Monday and then on Wednesday they sent him to Atlanta to meet with the Executive Vice President of the Company!! I am so proud of Jon for getting as far as he has in the process. I just pray and I mean PRAY that it works out. It seems like the PERFECT situation for Jon, Mr.Wiggles, and I! SO, please pray that we will get good news SOON. They said we would know in the beginning of the week. Well, monday and has come and gone so we are banking on them to call tomorrow. My birthday is Friday and there couldn't be a better birthday gift I could get! :)  I will BLOG as SOON as I hear something. 

Yesterday we were blessed enough to celebrate my Mimis 95 Birthday! It was fun being with some of my cousins who I haven't seen in a while. With just Mimi's kids and grandkids there were 30 at the party. One big person was missing however! That would have been Pat! BUT he was there in spirit! (And a couple of pictures that Mom took of the BLONDE angel!) Mimi looks great! I hope I look half as good as she does at 95! I just feel so blessed to have a grandmother who celebrated her 95th birthday! I am not sure there are a lot of people that can say that! 

So, as I was saying earlier that Pat didn't get to come down for Mimi's birthday party.  I am SO excited to say that he will be here on FRIDAY for my Birthday!! We haven't seen him in MONTHS, so it will be GREAT to finally see him! 

I can NOT believe that I am going to be 24 on Friday! 24! That is MID-TWENTIES, which is almost THIRTIES!!!! I am NOT ready for this yet! HAHAH. I know I sound CRAZY, but really, 24 does seem OLD to me. :)  Its weird to think that Jon and I started dating when I was 17! We have been together for almost 7 years now! That to me is crazy as well! In a way it seems like just yesterday that we were going on a blind date. NOW were an OLD married couple! HAH! 

Anyways, I better go. Kemp is down here and we are having a spend the night party! We are watching Finding Nemo. Which to me, might possibly be the SADDEST Disney movie. NOT my favorite Disney movie, but KEMP loves it! Whatever keeps him entertained! :)

I PROMISE to update as soon as we here from the JOB. (Even if its not great news!)

Blessings and Peace,

Happy Birthday, Jon!!

So, yesterday was Jon's 25th Birthday! :) I took off half a day at work so that I could get a few last things for his birthday and to make sure I could have dinner pretty much ready for when he got off work! :)

I made Jon's most favorite meal ever...CHICKEN PARMIGIANA! I cheated and went to Olive Garden and got the Salad, Bread Sticks, and Tiramisu!
I figured that instead of getting Jon a birthday cake he would rather have the tiramisu! I also made some chocolate dipped strawberries and they were yummy!
We had a nice candlelight dinner. Talked about the night we met which was 6 years ago yesterday! It's hard to believe that I met my hubby on a blind date to a silly high school dance!
After dinner he got to open up his gifts! Jon is the HARDEST person in the world to buy a gift for. I was STUMPED on what I should get him!
Mom MADE him the coolest thing ever. (see pics below!)
She got 3 jars that had money in them. On each jar there was a different die cut. 1 was a house, 1 was a heart with cross, and 1 was a crown. The idea behind the jars is for us to save money for 1 whole year and NOT touch the money (except the heart with cross jar!) and see how much we have saved over a year. The heart with cross is obviously for our tithing jar. We are suppose to save and when we feel led we are suppose to tithe that money. The one with the house is for our house fund. We want to buy a house in 2 years (our goal at least) and we want to have a nice down payment. This way we will have a good down payment! And the one with the Crown is for him to buy himself something he wants! I thought this idea was GREAT. I guess the hard part will be not touching the money for a whole year! Thanks, Mom! :)

Mom also gave Jon a new auburn hat! His was SO gross! He was excited to get a new one!
(picture is kinda blurry!)

I got him another big picture frame that has the writing on them. I am OBSESSED with those frames! I found my first one at Cotton Tails last year and have been obsessed with them ever since! (I actually got my parents one for a "thank you" gift for giving us an amazing wedding!) The one I got Jon says "If you love something, let it go. If it comes back it always yours. If it doesn't it was never yours to begin with!" It has kinda always been a saying of ours. So, when I saw the frame I knew I had to get it for his birthday!
I also got him a pair of Auburn shorts, a new pair of jeans, and new shirt!
(Picture is REALLY blurry! Ah well, you get the picture!)

I hope he had a Happy Birthday! I remember telling him last year "This time next year we will be MARRIED!" It seemed so FAR off then, but WOW the time certainly flew by!
We are going to a movie EARLY this afternoon! Jon is taking me to go see "Confessions of a Shopaholic!" I am excited. I have read the books and feel like I relate to her pretty well. HA. He is so sweet to take me to a GIRLY movie on Valentines. Valentines Day 6 years ago we went and saw Daredevil. I remember we found the last 2 seats together in that movie theater! It was crazy! So, I am glad to be going EARLY! Maybe we can beat the crowd! :)
I hope you all have a great Valentines Day! Every year since I can remember my daddy has given me a Valentine Card. I am anxiously awaiting for the mail to come so I can see if he sent me one! I told him that even though I was married I still wanted one from him! Something I always look forward to on Valentines! :)

Blessings and LOVE,
